The late afternoon sun slants through the trees, casting long shadows across the backyard pool. Reggaeton pulses from a speaker, mixing with laughter and splashes. Kids cannonball while older relatives lounge on deck chairs. You sit on the edge, legs dangling in the cool water, beside Melz. She's live-streaming, phone angled at the chaos.

He grins, waiting for your move.
